1.00 Credits
Microbial Ecology Laboratory will explore the ubiquitous nature of microbial life in common and functionally important habitats such as soils, and in extreme and unusual habitats, such as anoxic sediments and alkaline lakes. The diverse roles played by microbes in biogeochemical cycling will be the central theme of course activities. Trips to field locations including freshwater lakes and native grasslands will be combined with laboratory skills building. Methods for sampling microbial communities, assessment of microbial activity, enrichment culture, and aseptic technique will be emphasized.3L. P: BIO 211 and 212
-
3.00 Credits
BIO 517 will not be offered in the Spring 2005. A lecture/discussion course which examines contemporary issues in genetics. Topics include, but are not limited to molecular and genetic aspects of autoimmune disease, aging, behavior, cancer, development, evolution, genomics, proteomics, etc. In addition, methods which accompany such studies, such as bioinformatics and in silico biology, will also be examined. Both faculty and students are involved in presenting information.3R. P: IC.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Cytogenetics is the science of the structure and behavior of chromosomes. We will examine chromosome transmission, rearrangements and structure, and the effects of these phenomena on speciation in plants and animals. P: IC.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of environmental tolerance, bioenergetics and nutrition, homeostasis, and toxicology and disease will be developed and related to the organismal, population and community levels and to comparative responses to environmental disturbance. The course uses a reading/discussion format. 3R. P: BIO 211 and 212.
-
3.00 Credits
Molecular mechanisms controlling the growth and differentiation of eukaryotic cells, including gene expression, cell growth and division, signal transduction, development, germ cells, immunity, and cancer. 3R. P: BIO 317, BIO 362 or 417.
-
3.00 Credits
Over the past few decades there has been a resurgence of zoonotic diseases such as SARS and Avian Influenza. Why do zoonotic diseases emerge, and what factors lead to epidemics? This course will address these questions, and apply an ecological approach to an understanding of epidemiology in wildlife populations. P: BIO 211 and 212 and one of the following: BIO 351 or BIO 390 or BIO 432 or BIO 481.
-
3.00 Credits
Impact of environmental changes and environmental extremes on animals and their physiological mechanisms. Examines primarily vertebrates and their responses to variations in temperature, pressure, and salinity. Basic physiological principles associated with each adaptive response covered in lecture and reading assignments. 3R. P: BIO 333 or 335 or BIO 483 or BIO 449.
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture/discussion course focused on current issues in the field of microbiology. Topics may include but are not limited to the molecular and genetic aspects of host-microbe interactions, microbial ecology, microbial biotechnology, or bio-defense. We will focus on model microbial systems to illustrate the basic strategies bacteria use to accomplish specific requirements, and through paper discussions students will also be exposed to the latest research trends and some of the current techniques used in genetics and molecular biology. P: BIO 351, and one of the following: BIO 317, BIO 362 or BIO 417.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an in-depth examination of one or more physiological topics through a combination of lecture, discussion and student presentations. Reference materials will include textbooks, book chapters, review articles and the primary literature. Topics may include but are not limited to aspects of environmental, comparative and evolutionary physiology, as well as mammalian and human physiology. In most semesters the focus will be on current research, but historical aspects of some subjects may also be addressed. P: BIO 449.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to insect biology with emphasis on the major insect groups. Anatomy, physiology, and behavior of insects and their ecological, agricultural, and medical importance. 3R, 3L. P: BIO 211 and 212.
